There is much work to be done in the Sanctuary to keep the grounds clean and ensure the resiliency of the land and what grows there. As such, we have scheduled Saturday Volunteer Work Projects and are asking for volunteers to help us compete our goals.
Join us on Saturday mornings from 10am-Noon and lend a hand!
Please consider volunteering once or for every session.
Let us know you’re coming by emailing Scott at Sqw2@westchestercountyny.gov
THANK YOU!
